The Halloween Post: Costume Ideas for the Cyclist
October 31st, 2006
Halloween is definitely the best day of the year. If you’re going to be stumbling from party to party, keep your hands off the car keys damnit! Instead, think about incorporating your bike into your costume. Riding is the best mode of transportation, might as well make it part of your whole get-up.

To get your creative juices flowing, here are some costume recommendations based on the type of bike you ride:
Cruisers
- Pee Wee Herman

BMX
- Kids from ET, plastic crate with ET in the front, red hoodie.

Road Bike
- Eddie Merckx - you can make a Molteni jersey to be instantly recognizable

Fixed Gear / Single Speed
- Kevin Bacon from Quicksilver - you’ll need feathered hair for this

Old-school European Bikes
- Main character from Life is Beautiful

- Albert Einstein

Can you think of any more?

Rad
Bart Conners and Uncle Jessie’s Wife? Pure 80’s BMX awesomeness.
Breaking Away
Starring a young Dennis Quaid, this one took home an Oscar.
I remember Rad being one of my favorite movies when I was younger. Bicycle dancing at prom to Send Me An Angel - classic.

Not a costume unfortunately Beak, my bike bit me last week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a cool scar — one that is clearly a bike-related scar!
